Reatan A6 Mini Gaming PC AMD Oculink Ryzen 7 7840HS (8C/16T, up to 5.1GHz) Mini Desktop Computer, 32GB DDR5 5600MHz 1TB PCle4.0 SSD Mini PC, Quad Display&Dual 2.5G RJ45&HDMI/DP/USB-C, WiFi 6E, BT 5.2

I use this mini PC for both gaming and schoolwork. In comparison to my own build, this little thing packs a punch. I play some very visually demanding games, GPU runs most games at 120fps comfortably. It sets up nice and it's very quiet! Save space in comparison to my own build. my only complaint is the storage size, but I have an external SSD to make up for that. Totally worth the buy.

This gaming rig is surprisingly small but crazy powerful. It boots up super fast and the games run so smoothly. The refresh rate is insane; I've never seen anything like it. Seriously impressed with how much they packed into such a small case. Definitely worth checking out!

This would be the perfect mini PC, 5 stars, except for one minor but very annoying problem on my particular unit:-The USB 4.0 ports in the front are recessed into the case enough to where most cords I plug in do not seat in the port snugly. This makes it so that I have to carefully insert the USB c into the port and the smallest movement disconnects it. It also appears to produce slower speeds because of it. Not ideal and basically nixes the benefit of USB 4.0 ports.I opened the unit up to see if maybe there was a minor adjustment that could be made but it appears that the power button has a small plastic piece that sits between the mobo and the case which does not allow any adjustments to the case or placement of the mobo/ports. I was hoping maybe a slight bending of the case would push the case closer to outside, but can't really try that with that plastic piece in the way.Other than that really annoying issue? Fantastic mini PC. I haven't seen this problem mentioned anywhere else so I'm afraid I got unlucky here. And it's manageable, but annoying for the amount I paid for the device. I'll probably have to buy extended USB c tip cords, or something, but I'm not seeing any made that way with full 4.0 speeds.

Purchased in April 2024. Dual booting Windows 11 for work and Bazzite Linux for personal usage and gaming. Powers dual monitors easily.Windows 11 runs very well with MS Office 365 Desktop (Outlook, Word, Teams, and Excel) all running at the same time, and Zoom Meetings, SumatraPDF viewer with 7-10 PDFs open, and multiple Edge windows with 20-30 tabs. Let me tell you this computer is fast, and handles everything I just mentioned with ease and all of my applications are snappy.Also dual booting Bazzite Linux, and have tested Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk, Still Wakes the Deep, Trepang 2 and a few others, all which run very well ~40-60fps at 1080p. While it is not a $2000 gaming machine and I wouldn't expect it to be, it is a nifty little box that games surprisingly well. I guestimate it would get several hundred fps in games like CS, LoL, Apex, OW.Observations:Build quality is excellent. 10/10Wi-Fi connectivity was not great, but there are also two concrete walls between the MiniPC and the router. Probably not the fault of the actual module, and ended up running a Cat6.I re-installed Windows from day one (after copying the Windows key) and did not run an anti-virus scan on the default install. IMHO, you should not trust any OEM manufacture's default Windows installation... not HP, Dell, Toshiba, Asus, nor any Chinese brand. Drivers were available from the Reatan website.My Alloy 9 is whisper quiet on the default power mode. The chassis does get hot to the touch, but has not noticeably thermal throttled even during summer months with 90F ambient temp.The UEFI GUI is difficult to navigate and find settings. I would much prefer an ugly ol' traditional BIOS menu.

I like the processor and chipset. This is the first PC for myself that I haven't built since probably the late 1980s. I don't need the processing power that I used to, and I'm mostly using Office, email, and Internet. I wanted something small and quiet and energy efficient, and can handle multiple 4K monitors. This mini PC ticks most of the boxes. However, I have a couple dings.First, while it is mostly quiet, there is a fan that randomly ramps up, then down, then up, then down. I can't find any reason for it because I constantly watch the CPU usage and temperature and can't correlate the fan spinning up to the CPU ramping up. I also monitor the SMART reading from the hard drive, which shows that the drive temp is always in the normal range. I thought there might be a setting in the BIOS for the fan control, but I couldn't find anything. The BIOS is probably one of the most stripped and basic (no pun intended) that I've seen.I reached out to Reatan regarding the fan and many days later received a response asking me if it was the CPU fan or the hard drive fan. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. Without taking it apart, how would I know? I asked for the remedy of each fan and thought I could find the correct balance if I was given instructions. (I thought perhaps I missed something in the BIOS.) I never got a response. That tells me that they're not particularly interested in customer support.Also, the description of the product states that it has the ability for a Gen4 M.2 SSD. What it doesn't tell you is that it comes with a Gen3, specifically a Lexar NM620. That wasn't even a great hard drive when it was released, and now it's radically outpaced by current Gen4 drives. So while the description makes the point that it can accept a Gen4 drive, it fails to mention that it comes with a Gen3 drive, and not even a great Gen3 drive that's 3+ years old to the market.Overall the PC is fine. It drives multiple monitors, handles the tasks that most will use with ease, and does so while sipping power. The ramping fan can drive me a little crazy while I'm working in a quiet environment, the BIOS is definitely lacking, and the hard drive choice makes me wonder if Reatan has a relative or close friend that works at Lexar and needed a favor. The hard drive is the weakest link considering the chipset and CPU are very good.
